Fazel Atrachali, the formidable defender in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), had inked a new chapter in his remarkable journey.

The announcement at the PKL Season 10 Player Auction that he had been acquired by the Gujarat Giants for a whopping INR 1.6 crore had sent shockwaves throughout the kabaddi community. Once again, Fazel had retained his record as the most expensive defender in PKL history, a testament to his extraordinary skills on the mat.

"I am extremely happy to join Gujarat Giants," Fazel beamed with excitement as he spoke about his new team. "They are a very good team. I played with them for a season, and they know how to take care of the players. I have a very good feeling about this move."

Fazel's excitement was not just about the team but also about rekindling old memories. "I have a lot of good memories from my time with Gujarat Giants during Season 5," he reminisced. "Our defense was the best during that season, which was also the first season for the franchise. We even reached the final and played well but were unfortunate to have lost."

One aspect that added to Fazel's enthusiasm was the presence of his close friend and teammate, Nabibakhsh, in the Giants' lineup. "I am very happy that Nabibakhsh is also in Gujarat Giants," Fazel said with a grin. "He is the best second-man during matches, and I'm always happy when he is around. He is also a good roommate. We are together for four months during the season, so having a good room partner is also important. I am very happy that we are together because he is my best friend. We play well with each other."

Moreover, Fazel was thrilled to be reunited with his former coach, Ram Mehar Singh, who he regarded as one of the best coaches in the world. "For me, it's really good to have him as he can help me improve my performance," Fazel emphasized. "I know how he prepares the team, and it helps a lot. This is good for both me as well as the team, and I am very happy to have Ram Mehar Singh as my coach."

As Fazel geared up for the upcoming season with the Gujarat Giants, it was clear that his excitement, camaraderie with Nabibakhsh, and the guidance of Coach Ram Mehar Singh were the perfect ingredients for another season of kabaddi excellence. The fans eagerly awaited the moment when Fazel would once again showcase his unparalleled defensive prowess on the kabaddi mat, driving the Giants to new heights of success in PKL Season 10.
